Turkey's automotive market recorded a weaker performance in June 2026 as overall demand softened despite continued strength in hybrid vehicle sales. The Turkiye automotive industry experienced lower vehicle sales because of stricter auto loan conditions and rising vehicle prices linked to the stronger euro. Even with these market pressures, hybrid electric vehicles continued to attract buyers, highlighting sustained consumer interest in electrified mobility while the broader market faced a slowdown.
